There's this hobby I have, where I run a search on ebay for a delorean whenever I get bored.  I'm trying to break my theory that at any given time, there is at least ONE delorean on sale on ebay.

This one's a keeper:

Wait a minute, isn't the DeLorean made of stainless steel?

Yeah, the out body panels were all solid stainless steel. &nbsp; I worked at a dealership and my boss was a huge fan of Delorean. &nbsp;One day he bought a 1982 with 2500 original miles, 5 speed, and original tires! &nbsp;Interior was mint, but the body needed polishing. &nbsp;I did most of the detail work, including the polishing (I can now say i'm a Delorean polishing expert!<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'> &nbsp;They're slow, unreliable, uncomfortable, and have poor visibility, but other than that, I like 'em!

I had never seen a DeLorean before this last weekend when I saw two of them when I went home to Indy. &nbsp;I don't like the black really, I would prefer stainless. &nbsp;I also find it kinda strange that they would put a wankel motor in it. &nbsp;I think the stock DMC V6 can be equipped with an FMIC and TT's anyway..
